The Power Shift: Mastering Reverse Interviews and Interim Roles

This is a great hiring post on “reverse interviews”—or how to make interviews less one-sided and make sure you get the information you need to make a decision about a company. I like this question in particular:

Ask your direct manager for examples of promotions and attritions they have managed. Request stories about individuals they’ve managed in the past who have gone on to achieve significant success. Ask about the frequency of their meetings with direct reports, their perspective on their role in your work, their preferred communication styles, and their approach to staying informed. Also, clarify who makes which types of decisions.
